Great focused tour and outstanding guide. - Our guide was excellent in terms of first asking what we wanted to focus on and then providing an outstanding overview/walk of quaint Athens neighborhoods we wouldn’t normally see.

Known by Locals - Eleni was great and very accommodating. I had trouble with transportation from airport/downtown/hostel, and since she could postpone our tour, she kindly suggested to meet up a little bit later than what I scheduled ( I didn't ask: she offered:)
She took me to places where locals go and regular tours don't cover. It was nice to see parts of the city not full of tourists. She also pointed out good places to get food and drinks, and what to ask for: sweet bougatsa for breakfast, spinach/cheese for lunch or dinner. She also noticed I love graffiti, then she made sure to walk by places with pretty cool art.
I more than recommend her and her tour! I had a delightful evening walking with her.

Our private tour with Nikolas - My wife and I spent a half day with Nikolas yesterday and enjoyed every minute of it. Niko (we quickly became friends!) gave us a real insight into places we would not have been able to see any other way in such a short time, from magnificent views of the City, to the Port of Piraeus, to interesting neighborhoods. His knowledge of history was especially impressive. We did find ourselves having to ask about buildings we were passing from time to time (as a former guide myself, used to point out any and every building of possible interest) but that shortfall did not spoil the excellent few hours we had with Niko. Hugs all around when we left.

Awesome Athens Tour (local insight - hidden gems) - This is our second Athens tour with Yorgos. He is no longer just a tour
guide, he is now a friend. He gave us an amazing unscripted tour of
'hidden' places in Athens, including Philopappos Hill, Anafiotika -
with its unique alleys in Plaka and a nice visit to several Byzantine
churches. A very productive and educational 4-hour tour ! I should also
add that Yorgos is a pretty good photographer, capturing the right
moments and angles of the various sites we visited. We highly
recommend him !

Great walk - Manos as a guide tells a lot of very interesting storries during the
walk along and through historical areas of Athens. He shows you places
you had never found by your own. The walk with teenagers can so become
a happy time.

Spectacular Athens - We arranged with Nikolas for a 4 hour tour of Athens while we were in port during a cruise.He graciously picked us up at the port and drove us to many interesting sites throughout the city, where we stopped,
walked a bit and talked. He was extremely pleasant, engaging and informative. His english was excellent. We would have never been able to see so much or learn as much about the city if it were not for Nikolas. It was an extremely worthwhile and enjoyable experience.
Nikolas dropped us off in old town where we spent the rest of the afternoon on our own.We were really impressed with Athens, thanks to Nikolas.
We highly recommend Nikolas!

Great tour, wonderful memories! - My husband and I stayed in Athens for one day only, and Yorgos gave us
a great deal of information on culture, history, and Greek
mythology.We greatly enjoyed the tour and have wonderful memories of
the beautiful ancient city of Athens.

Do it! It was great! - We had an amazing experience seeing Athens with Fotis as our guide. He
arrived on time and immediately put us at ease with his friendly
conversation. He taught us many facts about Athens as we toured the
sights. He took many photographs for us so that we will have memories
to look back on. We highly recommend Fotis. He started as out as our
guide but ended as our new friend.
